On January 19th, Xia Tian set out to the United States to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony on January 21st.

"Brother Tian, ​​the George family is so powerful. The father and son are the presidents, which is amazing!" Wang Qixian said to Xia Tian with a smile.

"It's really amazing," Xia Tian smiled, "or why would I invest in him?"

"Brother Tian, ​​did you know before that their father and son will win the election?" Wang Qixian asked in surprise.

She remembered that when Xiao Bushi was running for president, it seemed that summer had already invested in them.

"Of course it's impossible, and I won't predict it in the future." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "However, the Bushi family is a well-known family of primordialism in the United States, and its power within the Republican Party is deeply rooted in power.

When I came to the United States to develop, the Republican Party happened to be in power, so I wanted to find a Republican leader to protect him. At that time, Lao Bushi was the vice president and had a high position and a powerful position, so I tried my best to win him over.

I didn’t expect that the father and son were really successful and were elected President of the United States. This is really my luck!”

"So that's the case. Brother Tian, ​​you are really a good person and will be rewarded." Wang Qixian nodded and said.

Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

He did not tell Wang Qixian about his memories of his previous life. It was not that he could not trust her, but that the secret was too important, and the fewer people knew, the better. Otherwise, once it was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This is also for the safety of Wang Xiaoxian and the whole family.

...

Arrived in the United States two days in advance, and Xia Tian first asked Xia Xue out and the whole family got together for a meal.

"Brother, why are you willing to live in a hotel if you can't live in a luxury house in Beverly Hills?" Xia Xue asked curiously.

Although Xia Tian bought a luxury house in Beverly Hills, she always chose to stay in her own hotel every time she came to the United States. This habit made Xia Xue very confused.

"Every time I come to the United States, the media will receive news in advance that my mansion will be surrounded by wind and rain. If I weren't afraid of the security guards shooting, I would have broken into my house. I'm not a giant panda in the zoo, why should I be watched by so many people?" Xia Tian curled his lips and said, "It's great to stay in a hotel. I have so many hotels in Los Angeles, and I can change my residence at will. The media can't find where I live, and where can I go to block me?!

Besides, there are so many servants, gardeners, cooks, and drivers in Beverly Hills mansions. Do you know if there are any commercial spies, agents of the House of Mansions, and terrorists who are involved in it, will you betray your whereabouts and be private?

So, instead of living there, it is better to stay in a hotel. It is impossible to monitor all the thousands of rooms whenever you go there, and the privacy and security are undoubtedly greatly improved."

"Brother, you are the smartest." After hearing this, Xia Xue couldn't help but stretch out her thumb to exclaim, "Since that's the case, I'll move to the hotel as well."

"That's not necessary. I'm just staying in the United States for a few days, and I don't even have to bring more luggage. A few trolley boxes are enough. So I can stay as I go, stay as I go, and walk, and it's free and convenient." Xia Tian smiled, "You are a permanent residence in the United States. Your clothes, shoes, jewelry, and jewelry are afraid that you can't have two trucks, even the presidential suite can't be kept. If you want to move, you have to move, so how can you be clean?

In my opinion, you should live in a luxury house. Just be careful and don’t leave too many secrets.”

"Well, I remember." Xia Xue nodded.

In fact, there is another reason why Xia Tian is willing to live in a hotel rather than a luxury house, and he is embarrassed to tell Xia Xue. That is, he lives in a hotel, which makes it more convenient for him to date people.

You should know that he has many good friends in Hollywood, such as Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, Angelina Jolie, Dennis Richards, Jennifer Connery, etc.

Every time he comes to the United States, in addition to discussing business, he also has to have in-depth exchanges with them. If he had made an appointment at home, he would have been caught by the media who had been waiting. If he stayed in a hotel, it would be fine.

...

"By the way, brother, I heard that Tianxia Production has been having a hard time recently." Xia Xue smiled at Xia Tian, ​​"A lot of funds have been taken away by American Online, which makes it have no money to start a new show. Moreover, in order to reduce costs, American Online has laid off hundreds of employees. "

"Oh, this is very interesting." Xia Tian smiled when he heard this.

It is not uncommon for him to withdraw funds from the world's production. Because as the saying goes, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away when the disaster strikes.

When American Online married the world production, he also wanted to combine the couple and unify the world. In the two months after the merger and acquisition, it was indeed a harmonious sound, like a bond.

However, before the honeymoon period passed, the Internet bubble had collapsed. The stock price of AOL was cut in half within two months, causing heavy losses.

When it flourished, it made a lot of acquisitions in order to expand its business.

For example, it acquired Netscape browser for US$4.2 billion, acquired music playback software winamp for US$80 million, acquired live chat software icq for US$470 million, acquired online map website mapquest for US$1.1 billion, and acquired movie information website movieefone for US$480 million... And the biggest acquisition was the acquisition of Tianxia Production for US$100 billion.

The funds it uses to acquire, in addition to the money it raises for listing, comes from banks, so it is burdened with a very heavy debt burden.

In addition, after the US Online Merger and Acquisition Worldwide Production, the total number of employees reached 36,000. Monthly salary, bonuses, benefits, etc. alone cost 1 billion US dollars.

Not to mention that the production of the world is also a big money-consuming player. It also requires money to produce and distribute movies. Especially now that the cost of film production has increased, the production cost of 100 million US dollars is not uncommon, so the requirements for funds are greater.

In 1999, the revenue of American Online was only US$4.8 billion, and its net profit was only US$780 million. It was not enough to pay off the loan, so how could it support the company's operations?

So in 2000, American Online lost 14 billion US dollars. After the news came out, American Online's stock price plummeted.

Because its loans to banks are all based on mortgage stocks. Now the stock price has plummeted and banks are chasing debts, which has made the United States Online have to lay off employees and reduce costs while drawing funds from subsidiary companies to repay debts.

In fact, the world production has launched popular movies such as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", "The Rings Guardian", "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "Public Enemy of the Nation", which can operate itself, and even have a lot of surplus in a year.

However, in order to repay the debt, American Online drew a large number of funds from Tianxia Production and even mortgaged the Tianxia Production library to the bank. As a result, Tianxia Production's own operations were seriously affected.
